f of General Walmoden's Russo-German
Corps, which formed part of the Army of the North under Bernadotte.
His name is frequently mentioned with distinction in that campaign,
particularly in connection with the affair of Goehrde.

Clausewitz re-entered the Prussian service in 1815, and served as Chief
of the Staff to Thielman's corps, which was engaged with Grouchy at
Wavre, on the 18th of June.

After the Peace, he was employed in a command on the Rhine. In 1818, he
became Major-General, and Director of the Military School at which he
had been previously educated.

In 1830, he was appointed Inspector of Artillery at Breslau, but soon
after nominated Chief of the Staff to the Army of Observation, under
Marshal Gneisenau on the Polish frontier.

The latest notices of his life and services are probably to be found
in the memoirs of General Brandt, who, from being on the staff of
Gneisenau's army, was brought into daily intercourse with Clausewitz
in matters of duty, and also frequently met him at the table of Marshal
Gneisenau, at Posen.

Amongst other anecdotes, General Brandt relates that, upon one occasion,
the conversation at the Marshal's table turned upon a sermon preached
by a priest, in which some great absurdities were introduced, and a
discussion arose as to whether the Bishop should not be made responsible
for what the priest had said. This led to the topic of theology in
general, when General Brandt, speaking of himself, says, "I expressed an
opinion that theology is only to be regarded as an historical process,
as a MOMENT in the gradual development of the human race. This
brought upon me an attack from all quarters, but more especially
from Clausewitz, who ought to have been on my side, he having been an
adherent and pupil of Kiesewetter's, who had indoctrinated him in the
philosophy of Kant, certainly diluted--I might even say in homoeopathic
doses." This anecdote is only interesting as the mention of Kiesewetter
points to a circumstance in the life of Clausewitz that may have had
an influence in forming those habits of thought which distinguish his
writings.

"The way," says General Brandt, "in which General Clausewitz judged
of things, drew conclusions from movements and marches, calculated the
times of the marches, and the points where decisions would take
place, was extremely interesting. Fate has unfortunately denied him an
opportunity of showing his talents in high command, but I have a firm
